Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi has welcomed the Gaza ceasefire deal in a post on X, stressing the “importance of accelerating the entry of urgent humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza”.

He added that aid needs to be delivered to the enclave until sustainable peace is achieved through the two-state solution, and so that the region “can enjoy stability, security and development in a world that is large enough for everyone”.

“Egypt will always remain faithful to its covenant, a supporter of just peace, a loyal partner in achieving it, and a defender of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people,” Sisi added.
